AIDS education at the local level: the pragmatic issues.

Several documents have been published offering guidelines for implementing AIDS education. These documents generally cite the need for AIDS education, and identify issues and concerns inherent in planning AIDS education. Though such guidelines are beneficial in establishing the legitimate need for AIDS education, the information provided does not address the pragmatic issues involved in planning and implementing AIDS education at the local level. This article recommends approaches for addressing five pragmatic issues at the local level: formalizing an AIDS education policy, addressing concerns about morality, placement of AIDS instruction within comprehensive health education, formulation of a curriculum development model, and relating to the local news media.

School health education: a foundation for school health programs.

This article describes the present status of health instruction--one of the original three components of the school health program--and suggests ways to improve its effectiveness as one of the eight components of a comprehensive school health promotion program. The article also demonstrates the complexity of the theory base, content, methodology, and outcome expectations of health instruction; a complexity that demands the subject be taught by teachers who are thoroughly prepared and committed to teaching health.

Three applications of the Role Delineation Project 1985 Curriculum Framework.

Colleges are beginning to use the Role Delineation Project Curriculum Framework for curricular reform at the graduate and undergraduate levels. This paper describes the efforts of three universities to revise their curricula based on the Framework. At Towson State University, it is being used with other national and state standards to assess health educators. At the University of Alabama at Birmingham, it provided the structure by which the faculty determined the competence of exiting health majors. At the University of Georgia, it was used in strategic planning and graduate education restructuring. The Framework, while lacking material in certain professional development areas, provides the structure for departments to begin the process of health education curricula reform.
